  1. If I were a gem I'd like to be a ruby because they're pretty much indestructible

    1. @nerthos why not sapire? saphire and ruby are basically the same thing, except that ruby has chromium and saphire has cooper (among others)

      1. @mushi I like sapphires too, maybe even more aesthetically. I just didn't knew they had the same resistance and scratch immunity. I know of rubies because they're used on mechanism that can't suffer wear from years of use.

        1. @nerthos both ruby and sapphire are made of aluminium oxide, so they are nearly the same hing. And artificial sapphires are used to make military helicopters' windshield, so that is pretty nice too
